Something came to my mind after sending the survey: if you are to bring newer games, please bring complete editions, with all the DLC and official modules included in the price and installed with the main game.

I do like the idea about a sister page where you have an separate section for Good New Games. However not too new. However the point of this site, why I still keep coming, is that I love games that are solid and that means fully patched and a few years behind the release date so any obvious issues might have been solved by either the game company or the community. Not to mention the lowered price (as with lower prices you can get more games which is an important factor for gamers in general.)

The idea of a GOG.com client does interest me as well, it would be just awesome if it's optional too (one of the many reasons Steam still annoy me is that they force you with it).

Is it paranoid to fear that GOG will be OK as long as it stays in its nieche but could get eaten by one of the big boys - Steam, Origin or someone else big who want to get into DD on the PC to compete with those 2 if it starts to step outside of that and becomes a threat to profis?

Yeah same here, that price would be ok, and one of the things I love about GOG is that you don't have to worry about the game being lousy, only a couple like that :P

So please, if you do decide to bring in more modern games, try to aim for quality, as always :)

new games like TW2 of course would be priced differently, but a price drop like that after 1-3 years is reasonable I think.

Took it. I think my most common selection was 'Other' though.

Done, that was a fun survey.
Am I alone in thinking that releasing new games on GOG is a bad idea?
You'll be competing against Steam, which seems a losing battle. And it won't be "Good Old Games" then either. I say stick with the classics and put all effort into that area cause it's what makes GOG unique and the reason I come here.

To all of you suggesting a sister site - how exactly are they supposed to do that ? From scratch ? That's a lot of effort put into a risky endeavor.
If they simply slightly overhaul the interface while you're on the "new" side (since most of you suggest it should all be tied to a single account in the end), it would be like a shopkeeper putting on a wig to acknowledge that you're suddenly buying things from a different section. Silly.
Why not simply agree on a new price-point and some enhancements to catalog filtering ? In the end, all the "sister-site" suggestions are trying to achieve is GOG selling us new games while pretending not to be GOG...

I totally agree with that ;)

If they wouldn't compete with Steam, Steam would still compete with them. ;)

Steam also sells classics, even some you cannot find here. And the business is very well scalable. Even if nobody buys a game, they have almost no cost with it.

It seems like many here can live very well with "Good games" where only some of them are also "old".
Yes, like this. :)

Done and Done!

Hopefully there will be more improvements in the future here because there are a lot of thing that require the team's attention

I would not buy new games from this website unless they were offered at a competatively low price. If I want to buy "new" games, I buy them off of steam during a sale. Besides, there are so many good old games missing on this site.. you should work on that instead.

I'm also quite opposed to that. It kinda irritated me that Witcher 2 was the "main feature" of the whole website for about a month even though it's not a Good Old Game, and it was overpriced (compared to other games on this website).

The last part of the survey about future releases has me worried that the publishers might want to take the website into a more mainstream direction. Of course, I would have no problem with a sister website that introduces new games at higher prices, as long as this does not affect GOG's services negatively (e.g. less GOG games being released weekly).

I agree with Zabinatrix up there; I'd love to see GOG or a sister site branch out into offering Indie games free of DRM and download clients. While the ability to get old games legally (or finally be able to recommend previously hard-to-find old games to your friends) is my favorite aspect of GOG, the ability to direct download and install games without DRM or extra clients (which is why I won't touch Steam and reluctantly no longer follow Stardock) is my close second favorite. So seeing that second benefit stretched out to indie games and even big-name-company new releases would be awesome.

Also, both publically viewable wishlists and publically viewable shelves for the win; it'd be nice to be able to surprise people with gifts without risking buying something they already own.

(Also, speaking of games I want to recommend to people, you need to add The Space Bar to your catalogue. Just saying.)

I'm surprised that the gaming site Rock Paper Shotgun was omitted from the list of choices. I don't have any facts to back this up but the site is often the champion of niche products like retro and indie games. I'm sure many a successful niche game product can thank Rock Paper Shotgun for creating a spark in interest which leads to great sales.

I was wondering if the GOG site uses a service to see which sites users come from when coming to GOG.

well GOG standard games are $5.99 3 year old games could be $7.50 that would give me more of an incentive to buy them at that price and 1 year old games $9.99 and and gog's servers would stall as everyone would be buying from here!
